I am currently in Phuket, I spent most of my time in a coworking with lots and lots of Russians (no idea why roughly 80% of the coworking were comprised of Russians)

1. Many of them tend to speak loudly and it was quite annoying. I don't know if it's because of the language or culturally.

2. Nobody seemed to care about what was happening in Russia. I am a French guy in Thailand, I have nothing to do with what the French government is doing, if some Russians are in Thailand, I don't see why I would assume they have anything to do with what's happening in Russia. These guys were just engineers or designers working and living in Thailand.

But yeah, if you are among the ones that speak loudly for whatever reasons, just try to act normal in public spaces, I would assume only crazy people spending their whole life being "purist" would ressent you for your nationality.
